I think you have a choice of regions. You would have to pick that region. If you've already picked another region it would not include Europe.

I don't know. I bought it as a gift for someone else. Contact Garmin. They have pretty good customer service, I hear.

Yes you can load Europe maps as liong as its Gsrmin compatiblie. You can purchase/download maps at the Garmin website.

In the one I purchased the maps for Europe are pre-loaded. Once you connect the unit to a computer they, along with the US maps are continuosly updated. Great unit.

You will probably have to pay extra for the maps for EU but yes it will work.

Correction on this. Lifetime Maps ONLY lasts while the model is still on their website. Once they discontinue it on their website you no longer get map updates.

I am very upset about this. The Amazon website states that maps of US, Canada, Mexico, and Europe are included with lifetime updates. I bought this unit for European driving and bought this specifically for free lifetime European map updates. Even if you go to TomTom's web site, it mentions free lifetime updates. No where on the page for this device does it say that European map updates are not included. I called TomTom and the customer service was horrible. After 20 minutes on hold I explained to a "supervisor" that this was deceptive and wrong and he hung up on me. This company is deceptive and has disdain for it's customers.

I can't say if the maps are current when you receive the receiver, however, it does come with free lifetime map updates.

Good question! I bought the XXL 540TM AFTER it was discontinued and DO get the maps but that was a year ago. I believe you will if it is advertized as having Lifetime maps and you buy it from TomTom or Amazon or a reputable dealer. You can send it back if they don't live up to the promise. The maps come out every quarter so you will soon know. BTW, Lifetime maps only applies to the US, not Europe. Also, there is not room on the 540 for new Western Europe maps AND the US maps at the same time, but you can switch them or use "map zones". I am very pleased with the traffic receiver, it works here in the US and even better in Britain. Good question!

No it does not, but yes, they can be purchased and installed. We installed them on one for a trip to Italy. I don't recall if we had to 'trade' maps or if we were able to install the Europe pack alongside the US.

Base maps only (which is basically main highways only). You will need the life time maps this is for North America but other regions are available: https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=33379

You can buy maps for europe and asia from garmin.com. If I understand correctly, you can buy them pre-loaded on a card and just swap it for the North America one. But they are in the $400 price range!

The unit gives you free life-time North America map. You can buy more regions and download from Garmin.com to install on the unit. You will have to plug in an external SD card to increase storage space.

Yes, if you purchase the SD card with Europe maps. I personally went to local office supply store and got a great deal on a blank SD card, then downloaded the maps, leaving room for other maps if necessary. I recently used these maps in the UK and they worked perfectly. I was a bit disappointed when I bought this Garmin and it did not even have sufficient space internally to download the maps.

No, and I am considering purchasing a new GPS unit that does include lifetime map updates. It won't cost much more than buying new maps for this one. most directions are fine, but there are some changes since 2010 when I bought it and I would update if I could.

I have not been there, but just typed in an address for Reykjavik and it found the address and calculated correctly. Thus, yes, it will work there as well. The maps have always been very accurate anywhere I traveled in Europe and I have traveled to very many countries already.
